there was hudaki village band. from zakarpattija. on the small man made hill, in the middle age church, near the waddenzee.
there was borsjt, there were fish and kartosjki, wine and beer, the lot.
there were many people, from groningen and ukraine and aged from 4 up to 84, shouting, dancing, clapping their hands, singing along with the beautiful songs of the beautiful musicians and singers of the hudaki village band.
svasso s phone recorded from the back of the church, near the coffee machine; maybe the sound sucks, but it sure gives an impression of how we felt, this evening.
and the other day, after sleeping at Jannet's and Bas ' place, and Misha on the boat Tisza... the musicians traveled on: first now to Belgium, then Sweden, Poland , than back home, bringing back what they gathered to help the refugees in their country in war.
it moved us all, to see how the kerk in Oostum didnt want us to pay rent, how the people at the waddenmax farm in hornhuizen talked with the farmers/musicians in hudaki and suddenly just gave us 50,00 euro s from their Cheese shop, for Ukraine, how we had delicious fish for twelve, at t Ailand on Lauwersoogs pier, and that they didnt want us to pay for that. in fact, Barbara even gave Hudaki the tip money of the restaurant...
wow,
good for the stomach, even better for the mind. best for the heart.
djakuju, grazie, tige dank.
